4 stars Pigs on the Wing (Part 1) the guitar in the back that makes you turn around, well let's watch the differences. Dogs, in front of you on the left, the musical space opens up, the voice is there inside in front of you, so the difference boosts the start; Ah, the drums slam; the keyboards are well marked by the warm Hammond; a good metaphysical question with the sound of the dog, the dogs, yes they are in the house, check that they don't poop. The guitar, this torn guitar of GILMOUR magnified here with these notes of his Telecaster; it spurts in front of you, guaranteed sound effect; reverb, the dog barking endlessly, the drum, there we are surprised by these sounds that really come out of the speakers to caress your ears, from the time when we had time. There it is, the wave is rising, the pleasure of hearing the big tambourines. So, do we have to become so perfectionists when listening to PINK FLOYD? Well shh I'm listening to David's last solo, bewitching, oh yes, and Rick's keyboard is on the other side of the room, wonderful times when the stereo was on stage.

Pigs (Three Different Ones) is worth it for the more present, percussive drums, I almost want to make room in my room; the bass sounds modern, more aggressive, the voices the one on the left behind me, the other in front. The growls come out from everywhere, you'd think you heard them pronouncing the "Never Surrender" of the great CHURCHILL. These voices from the vocoder pass over my head; I feel more like I'm watching a musical fireworks display than progressive rock; these growls, these voices come to attack you in your seat, while you're there in peace; George guides us today for this film of the sons of men with the famous towers of the factory.. For the music, Roger sings and scratches well, the bass itself seems to speak of the current madness...and the sheep begin to bleat before their track. Very soft sheep, gently, the joy of the concept album with the sequence; a melting rendering of the keyboard, and this bass speaking in crescendo; 2 pleasant minutes of a cottony intro before Roger's shouted voice lights up a dub disco from the 80s with Rick's jazzy keyboard, a rhythm that immediately makes you headbang; the synth spurts, swirls, it sets fire; the sound swells and the languid keyboard settles in; this album is very/too linear, monolithic. sheep, the vocoder like on SCHULZE with Arthur BROWN who had launched his voice; the end with this rhythmic guitar that sprinkles; concept we said, the bird comes back with these famous sheep..For the concept to go all the way, we conclude with Pigs on the Wing (Part Two) for the outro avant-garde acoustic beauty, so musical this PINK FLOYD. An acoustic that seems to be played by the speaker itself.
